Well I learned something from this post - I love orangeroom's method of assembling the quilt by sections rather than by rows or columns. Why didn't I know that before now??
Also a good lesson here on buying extra fabric. I always buy at least a quarter of a yard more than the pattern calls for to cover myself in case of cutting errors or whatever. And whatever is left over goes in my stash.. Too often I have run out of fabric before finishing and haven't been able to find any more.
